With face id and the battery they claim it's about security and safety. How is this anything other than preventing repair?
If you don't let people fix your device you can not claim you care about the environment. Not including a charger is about making more money and nothing more.
- bootlooped 6y agoI don't care if they (or any other phone company) omits the charger purely for profit. It's still true that almost everybody already owns one and doesn't need another.
- ganoushoreilly 6y agoA lot of arguments being made now are that they include a USB-C cable. Most people don't have a USB-C charger.
- millzlane 6y agoSame issue with the logic board and touch id.
- floatingatoll 6y agoCan I put a replacement camera into your phone that transmits a spy signal feed continuously without you realizing it? Before this change: Yes, without any barriers or chance of detection. After this change: Not easily, and the hardware and OS are looking out for that attack. This seems like a targeted defense against blackmailers and state-sponsored attackers. I’m glad to see it.
- ganoushoreilly 6y agoIf state sponsored attackers targeting your hardware is an issue for you.. you have bigger issues. The number of people buying the phone that are targeted specifically is probably in the small hundreds vs the millions they'll sell. This is clearly about Apple controlling repairs.
